As Bedell Guitars® continues to grow, so does its product line. New in 2010 is the Bedell Performance Aura Series outfitted with Fishman Aura™ Acoustic Sound Imaging for stunning, studio-quality sound whether on stage or recording at home.

"The Bedell Performance Aura Series is designed to bring out the character and individual tone of the guitar to maximize its true potential," explained Tom Bedell, designer and creator of Bedell Guitars, a division of Two Old Hippies. "Imagine playing into a great microphone in the most acoustically perfect room. That's how the Aura Series plays."

There's a lot of everything packed into each new Great Divide™ Songsmith Series guitar. A lot of comfort. A lot of sound. And a lot of color. "These beauties can really light up a room," explained Tom Bedell, designer and creator of Great Divide Guitars, a division of Two Old Hippies. "We went with a few colors that really make a statement like Delphic Red and Metallic Black, as well as a couple that are more subdued like Vintage Sunburst and Natural."

The Songsmith Series delivers clear, bright sound and features solid spruce tops and laminated sapele back and sides. Each is an orchestra-style electric with a Fishman Isys T preamp and Sonicore pickup for maximum value in a small footprint.
